Phillip was wandering through the city when he saw a small circle in the middle of an area of laid brick. He approached the circle, and when he was mere inches away from it, it rose from the ground. Underneath the small circle of bricks was a cool grey steel cylinder. A small segment of the cylinder slid away to reveal that the cylinder was hollow inside. Phillip was a very curious person, so he stepped inside the cylinder to inspect it further. When he stepped inside the floor slid down slightly, and the door snapped shut like an alligator’s mouth. Phillip was plunged into complete pitch blackness. He began to feel the inside of the cylinder to hopefully find its intended purpose. Then the cylinder began to sink into the ground. Phillip could hear and feel the sinking motion, and he began to pound on the walls of the cylinder and scream for help. Then the cylinder stopped sinking, and Phillip realized that he was now completely underground. Then he felt a burning sensation in his feet. He reached his hand down and felt that some sort of liquid was now filling the cylinder. The burning sensation began to creep up his legs and when it reached his waist he also felt the top of the cylinder closing in on him. He began to push against the top in an attempt to stop its decent. However this was now causing the burning sensation to creep up his chest much faster. When it reached his neck he realized that he couldn’t feel his feet anymore. Then the burning sensation crept over his face, and he began to inhale the liquid into his body. That caused the burning sensation to start in his mouth and begin to creep down his throat. Eventually Phillip couldn’t feel anything anymore, and the top of the cylinder returned to its normal position, and the liquid emptied from the cylinder. Then the cylinder rose from the ground again to entrap its next victim.
